The site is probably safe, but without access, I can't help.

thanks for letting me know, the site has a scanner & I don't see any unusual activity so I assume your work network doesn't like one of the scripts (probably flash) that helps the site be interactive. I'll run a deep scan tonight just to be safe, far better safe than sorry.
and I think the software the site runs on is moving away from flash in the next version update. It's in beta now so I don't want to upgrade the live site. I'll start testing it on my personal site fairly soon so we can upgrade soon after its release.

I don't think I ever told you, but I'm really thankful you took on the mods site. I very rarely use it myself, but I know how it important it is for some so I'm glad that someone like you who's so well known and consistent here took it on. Thank you.
You know one thing that I keep thinking would be great for the community that might be great on your site would be a web database of OOTP ideas/requests where people could rate the different ideas, comment on them, add them to their favorites lists, maybe rank them on their own top 10 lists, and then we could sort all the ideas by rating, how many people want them, etc. Like some of those font websites that are out there. I forget his name (he had a green avatar and something about a "dragon"; edit: it was Raidergoo), but there was a guy years ago who collected the ideas people posted and then gave them to Markus or somebody. I asked him about it once, but he said he didn't have it anymore or that I had to ask Markus for it, I forget. I've been thinking about it off and on for years now, but I just can't commit the hours to coding it from scratch like I did with the IOLD. But maybe you know of some framework that would make it far easier to build it from? I don't know, just an idea.

thanks for the kind words, I hosted the back-end of the mods sites for quite some time before ootpmods came around, so I figure the mods just came back home.
the site has a built-in system called trackers,
https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-index.php?...light=trackers
Quote:
Using Trackers, you can create forms for collecting data and make reports from that data. Trackers can combine structured information collected from users; the feature is a powerful, flexible tool. Originally, trackers were used to collect and manage bugs. They evolved into an open-ended system where you can track any kind of user input in a customizable form. Each tracker has its own mini database. Trackers operate as a standalone feature, and can be fully integrated within wiki pages. Users with the appropriate permissions can devise trackers to collect any kind of information they want. Combining trackers and the wiki makes Tiki a Structured Wiki.
Think of Tiki Trackers as a web-based version of Microsoft Access or FileMaker Pro.
Trackers can:
• be used to collect additional data from users upon registration.
• be used like a customizable articles feature with admin definable forms
• assist workflows by tracking tasks.
• act as expanded polls, surveys or quizzes
• import and export their settings and data.
• edit tracker items inline from full (or partially filtered) item lists
• Have customized templates to submit and display your information with a Pretty Tracker
Trackers can't yet: (but it improves with each version)
• do extensive calculations - the calculations are limited. For advanced calculations, use the Spreadsheet. Tighter integration between trackers and the spreadsheet is under development.

but it always confused me and I had bigger fish to fry so I spent my time elsewhere, but i think they are a theoretically easy way to set up mini databases.
i'll grant you elevated access.
and the site does have a
user generated directory, a simple form of the IOLD can be done by the community at large.
